Those Three Mars Probes.

i've been doing an astronomy internship this summer, and we recently talked about the space telescopes! wanted to personify some of them hehe.

James Webb (they/them): Their shiny poncho thing is inspired by the solar shield. They have a rivalry with Hubble, believing him to be obsolete. However, they secretly are worried they won't be able to live up to his legacy.

Hubble (he/him): His glasses represent the COSTAR instrument that was installed on Hubble to correct it's blurry images. He finds James Webb's attempt at a rivalry amusing, and just wants to become friends with the younger fella and help them out.

Nancy Grace Roman (she/her): A telescope not yet launched, she's an old NRO telescope, and is having trouble adjusting from a life of espionage to one of science.

Full animation will be released on launch day

James Webb Telescope got a visitor

They invented telescopes that can slayyy

Fun facts: Webb's outfit is inspired by U.S. navy uniforms because she's kinda shaped like a boat and a lot of engineers describe her using nautical terms. Hubble's glasses are prescription (corrective optics) but Webb's are just for fashion. Also Hubble's a Raiders fan cause he was assembled in the bay area and the Raiders were in Oakland at that time. They fight like a married couple.

Losing my shit over Perseverance’s pet rock.

I want what they have

ICE Sat(ellites), that is all

Hey guys! Click this link to watch JATSUNE JUICEKU jam!!!

Number of spacecraft I have drawn doing the blehhh... pose: 2

Sorta a collaboration wit @helljunker lolllll

Your voyager 2 design has been bouncing around in my brain. May I know more about them? :33

Absolutely! Due to the missions' nature, I've characterised both Voyager probes as peaceful, enlightened, and a little esoteric with a love for music and the universe.

Design wise, V2's clothing is based on the Little Prince (due to some parallels with the mission) as well as bunny suits (yes they're called that), they were more lax with the cleanroom regulations back in the day so it's just a hat and coat. I made it black in my design to match the spacecraft's tarp.

They have blue eyes as a reference to the Pale Blue Dot image but I'm quickly realising it doesn't make much sense given that the image was taken by V1 and not 2, so I may change it to whatever the colour of V2's final image was in the future.

Real OGs will remember how both my Voyager designs were radically different from one another where one was designed upside down and the other rightside up; it was to reflect the spacecrafts' almost opposite trajectories but it was sorta a split second decision on my part back then haha.

Three satellites and one very good girl!
